Queering Knowledge: Analytics, Devices, and Investments after Marilyn Strathern: Theorizing Ethnography
Editat de Paul Boyce, E.J. Gonzalez-Polledo, Silvia Posoccoen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 sep 2019
The authors examine the ways in which Strathern’s varied analytics facilitate the construction of alternative forms of anthropological thinking, and greater understanding of how knowledge practices of queer objects, subjects and relations operate and take effect.
Queering Knowledge offers an innovative collection of writing, bringing about queer and anthropological syntheses through Strathern’s oeuvre. It will be relevant to scholars from anthropology as well as a number of other disciplines, including gender, sexuality and queer studies.

Recenzii
“As one of the world’s most influential (and generous) anthropologists, Marilyn Strathern has made major contributions to our understanding of gender and knowledge. The contributors to this stellar volume extend Strathern’s thought into queer anthropology in a range of insightful ways, challenging the reduction of ‘queer’ to antinormativity or sexual diversity. In keeping with Strathern’s own approach, each chapter weaves together anthropological theory and ethnographic data to provide a new vision of ‘queer anthropology’ itself.”
- Tom Boellstorff, University of California, Irvine
“Queering Knowledge offers a radical and refreshing sideways look at both anthropology and queer theory. The book draws on Strathern’s work to queer queer, most particularly through her concepts of the merographic, the post-plural, and scale. Through a range of ethnographic and theoretical approaches, the essays move beyond the core queer foci of subjects and identities and into queer kinship, geopolitics, a reworking of gender and feminist interventions, and a queering of ethnography. This is a timely critical analysis of how knowledge is generated; it is a welcome addition to both anthropological and queer theory; it also provides important fresh reflections on the contemporary politics of post-plural life.”
- Sarah Green, University of Helsinki
"This outstanding collection focuses on the significance of Marilyn Strathern’s theoretical insights to the field of queer anthropology as it exists, and as it might be productively reimagined. In their excellent introduction, the book’s editor’s neatly move away from a focus on 'gendered' and 'queer' subjectivities, typically imagined, and toward an exploration of how Strathernian concepts can reframe the objects and aims of a queer analytic. [...] The collection’s ten chapters hold together as a cohesive project, offering insights to readers of queer anthropology, science studies, and the humanities." - The Association for Queer Anthropology
